Tennessee Pushes To Define ‘Sex,’ Could Risk Federal Funding

Tennessee Republican lawmakers on Wednesday advanced legislation that would prevent transgender people from changing their driver’s licenses and birth certificates, a move that officials warn could cost the state millions in federal funding.

“In my view, this body should do what’s right regardless of the cost,” said Republican Rep. Gino Bulso, the bill’s sponsor. “I don’t care what it costs to do what’s right.”

If enacted, the proposal would define male and female in state law and base people’s legal gender identities on their anatomy at birth.
